Re: Re: Re: ICANN-Wellington continues

You say, "it's all I can do." That's not true. You are a member of the Board. You can raise a point of order, at the start of the "meeting" of the Board, that the meeting is *not* in order because notice of the agenda was not given 7 days in advance, as required by the Bylaws. If Board members continue merely to complain about non-compliance with the Bylaws on posting of notices, aganda, and minutes -- but don't take any action to *require* compliance with those Bylaws -- nothing will change. And there is nothing affected community members can do about it: Reconsideration requests are ignored (mine from May 2005 hasn't even been posted on the ICANN Web site) and there are no valid or publicly disclosed procedures for independent review. Dr. Cerf claimed yesterday that they were established by Resolution 04.33. But -- aside from the fact that that resolution was not adopted in according with the procedures in the Bylaws for a policy development process, as I've explained in detail -- Dr. Cerf and Mr. Jeffrey have refused my repeated requests for a copy of the ICANN-ICDR agreement authorized by that resolution. So it would be impossible for me to do what they claim to think I'm supposed to do for independent review. In reality, they are still stalling, because they don't want to admit the defects that resolution, and don't want to start a public policy development process on independent review. (And they hope I will give up and go away, and stop getting the public interested in what ICANN does, even while they claim to want more public participation.) If members of the Board don't comply with the Bylaws, the only actual oversight remaining is the power of the state of California to revoke the corporate charter, and the power of the DOC to revoke the MOU.
